"In simple words, you just have to break the curse and The Celestial Blade will reveal its true form."
"It's true form?" Xian Li asked.
"Yes. Before thr curse is broken, it is just in it's initial stage with a very small percentage of it's true power and decreases slowly as the curse gets stronger. That Celestial Emperor only used The Celestial Blade in its intitial stage."
"So, basically its just a test. If I can break the curse, I will be able to use it in its full power."
His Master nodded.
"But How do I break the curse? And I also need to go back to The Immortal Realm to save Wang Li."
"That's why I came here, to tell you how to break the curse. Even though it goes against the rules, I should at least do something for my first and only disciple. That is why I needed you to come here. As it avoids the eyes of the Real Heavens.
This is the only place where we can talk freely. Of Course, there are other places where Heavens cannot see but I, too, am not strong enough to visit there, let alone you."
Xian Li nodded innocently as if a child was taught rocket science. The child did not understand a thing but still nods.
"The Curse bound to the Immortal cannot be undone by Immortality."
Xian Li took a moment to comprehend what his Master had said and immediately looked towards his Master in shock. His Master sighed and said-
"This is just one part."
"There is another?!!? Wasn't this part impossible enough?!"
His Master looked at him in silence.
"But What is the chance that it will work?"
"Without my interference, very less. But even with my interference, 70 percent."
Xian Li looked at his Master with his eyes wide open.
"THAT LOW?!???!!!"
He took some time to calm himself down and looked at his Master as if telling him to continue. His Master continued-
"The Blade binds those who seek power. It frees those who serve."
Xian Li again took some time to try to comprehent it, but this time, he did not understood it. He looked at his Master in confusion. His Master told him what it meant after seeing his confusion-
"It lingers because you seek and The Celestial Emperor seeked glory, venegeance or destiny. This is what makes it stronger, the more arrogant you become, the more you want power, the more stronger it becomes....
You must perform acts of complete selflessness.The Blade will recognize the acts as proofs that the holder no longer reflects the falw that birthed the curse, but.."
Xian Li's face twiched.
He hated 'buts' the most!
"But the curse would still be there. This will only help you after you do the other part, and incease some percentage of success.So, the more important, NOW ONLY, is the second part which is-"
Xian Li interrupted him and comleted the sentence-
"Which is..... to die a mortal death an-and... reaincarnate."
"...Yes."
He looked at his master with an expression saying 'Do I really have to do this? Is there no other way?' and begging him.
His Master saw his expression and shook his head.
After a few moments of 'deep' thinking, He finally sighed and said with determination even if he was not looking so good on the inside, as he was still not able to accept the idea of dying intentionally.
"Let's do this!"
His Master looked at him in stupidity and remembered him-
"You have to do some good acts first, WITHOUT any selfish purpose. Don't think that you are doing this to break the curse, just think and BELEIVE that you are really helping them becauseyou want to. Until you do so, the acts will not be counted and recognized by The Celestial Blade's spirit."
Xian Li nodded and shook his right hand on the back of his head, clearly embarrassed.
